musclebud Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) I finally got my wish this year.... The Chairman Dances from Nixon in China. SCV did an even better job than I had hoped for. Time to lighten it up a little though. How about some Gilbert and Sullivan. SCV doing The Mikado. Madison doing The Pirates of Pensance.

Tuonela Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 another great one (bluecoats or bd i suppose) would be "the black saint and the sinner lady" suite by charles mingus. mmmm.i wouldn't complain if more corps played don ellis tunes. i think history has shown that they've been great for drum corps. Best album ever. I know I might get kinda beat up over this, but I don't really think a drum corps would do it justice. It was originally played the way it was meant to be.

reelbigfishstix9 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I would really want to hear Galactic Empires by David Gillingham. I played it 4 years ago and Always thought i could hear a Corps playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared_mello Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Best album ever. I know I might get kinda beat up over this, but I don't really think a drum corps would do it justice. It was originally played the way it was meant to be. perfectly reasonable.....i guess, as is the case with most jazz, some of the longer improv solos might not translate well/be an option on the field. tempos and whatnot probably aren't ideal for the football field either. thats not the case with the jaga jazzist stuff i mentioned before.....much more melodic and accessible than "standard" jazz. they won the bbc jazz album award in 2002 (for credibility's sake) but are absolutely not a "jazz band" by any definition. check out the song "day" on youtube (perfect start to a show), or "kitty wu" if its an option. "low battery" or even more so "swedenborgske rom" would make great ballads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
